The Chicago White Sox have acquired right-handed pitcher José Urquidy from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a trade, according to a report from the AP. The deal was finalized on Sunday night. As part of the exchange, the White Sox sent minor league pitcher Félix Doroteo to the Pirates.
Urquidy, 27, is a right-handed pitcher with experience in the majors, having pitched for the Pirates in 2022. He has shown potential as a starting pitcher and could provide depth to the White Sox bullpen. Doroteo, 23, is a left-handed pitcher who has spent time in the Pirates' minor league system.
The trade marks a strategic move by the White Sox to bolster their pitching staff ahead of the 2023 season. Urquidy’s addition could offer flexibility in the rotation, while Doroteo’s departure leaves the Pirates with fewer options in the minors.
The deal was announced by the White Sox, with details provided by the AP. The Pirates did not immediately comment on the trade.
